Hello,
i want to play a short video overlayed over an object with the ability to fade it out on linux.
Now i tried various approaches.
Opening it in pix_film or movie doesn't work with any codec except a mpeg-1 .mpg file, which loads, but reports 0 frames.
It autoplays once after loading and then there doesnt seem to be anything possible.
Tried it with quicktime and JPEG-3 backends, after installing quicktime-utils
With pix_multiimage i can't open an image sequence, it reports image number too high....max num 0 (image directory was next to the patch, specified image count -1)
One pix_image object into pix_alpha works if i subsequently load the images, but performancewise it's not great.
When i load several pix_image objects to blend them in and out with pix_alpha, i get
bad arguments for message 'low_val' to object 'pix_alpha'
With alpha-passed between 0 and 1, alpha not passed 0 (any other doesn't seem to work either),
high threshold 1 1 1
low threshold 0 0 0
The first pix_image object works though....
Any suggestions?
Using Ofelia i cant integrate the part that works in GEM, right?
Anybody tried Gem for plugdata? Does it work better?
